TinyMCE 3.3.8 paste from word doesn't work on IE8

I have a TinyMCE editor on a page with the paste-from-word button enabled.

When I click the paste-from-word button a dialog shows up and let me paste the word content into a textbox. This works fine on Chrome and FF. On IE8 the dialog shows up, but the textar开发者_运维问答ea seems to be disabled. I can't place the cursor inside or paste anything in there.

It's because you're using an old version of TinyMCE... Older versions of TinyMCE have issues with IE8 (and vice-versa). Update to the latest version of TinyMCE and you won't have this problem.
